18 – 20 September 2026
Opening event: Fri 18 Sept, 5-9pm
Seventeen artists from across the UK will come together this September to present UPON, an exhibition celebrating the culmination of the Newlyn School of Art’s prestigious Professional Landscape Programme.
UPON showcases a diverse collection of contemporary landscape artworks developed over the course of an intensive twelve-month programme. Throughout the year, artists have travelled from across the country to Cornwall every two months, working together under the guidance of leading tutors while developing their individual artistic practices.
The title UPON reflects the artists’ varied responses to landscape — the moments, memories and encounters that emerge through a sustained engagement with place. The exhibition explores the relationship between artist and environment, revealing personal interpretations of the landscapes that surround and inspire us.
From dramatic coastlines and rural landscapes to intimate and deeply personal responses to place, the work demonstrates the breadth, energy and vitality of contemporary landscape artists today.
The exhibition runs across both floors of Tremenheere Gallery and will be open Fri 18-Sun 20 Sept – 5-9pm on Fri and 10am-4pm on Sat&Sun. Entry to the Gallery is FREE.
